However, the application process is expected to be a challenge as the owners are only looking for the 'brightest and best' to look after the site.

Applicants must be able to ensure that the solstice celebrations 'aren't in some way compromising the mystery and integrity of the stones'.

Tim Reeve, English Heritage's historic properties director, said of the job: "You could be up at the stones one minute, in outdoor garb trying to help visitors, then you can be back in a state-of-the-art visitors' center.

"The next time you could be in a suit, representing our site."

He continued: "It is also important to ensure we keep dignity for the stones. This year marks a new dawn for Stonehenge."
